Jeez, some people need to get a life. The whole point of the story was don’t go out on or into the water owing to the weather. Yet the same old debate fires up every single time…excruciatingly tedious
Does it matter … just stay out of the basin of water then. Ocean, Sea, Lake, river etc
I sea what you are getting at.
for lack of knowledge my people perish!
You can call it a “sea or Ocean” they both can get very rough and kill you, if you don’t know take my word for it, and don’t go in it when the Sea or ocean is very rough.
very annoying when people say ‘ocean’ when referring to the ‘Caribbean Sea’ (or any other sea for that matter) there is a difference between ‘sea’ and ‘ocean’. Learn the difference for heaven’s sake! google it if you want to be sure of the difference!
The Caribbean sea is just a part of the North Atlantic Ocean, get over it.
and Earth is just part of the universe so I’ll start calling Mars!
LMAO every time someone is offended by this shit.
The sea is a part of the ocean. I could understand this stupid argument if the Caribbean sea was separated from the Atlantic Ocean! It is not!
Stop making yourselves out to be smarter than you really are!
Umm, it is separated from the Atlantic Ocean, as is the Gulf of Mexico.
Turn. The. Page.
It is quite clear that you two are oceans apart on this.
No it isn’t. What map are you looking at?

It’s the Caribbean SEA. Stop calling it an ocean. Geography people!
Hmmm….it is an ocean though. We might call the surrounding waters of the Caribbean Islands, the “Caribbean sea”. But we all know, it’s one big mass of water surrounding all the land masses of the entire world, for our own learning purposes and understanding we have named it out in sections I.E Indian Ocean, Pacific, Atlantic….etc. Human beings like to separate, segregate and class things to feel important.
But, it’s still one huge body of water which is all connected, literally.
Umm, where is the border between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific? By your analogy the beaches of Southern California are on the Indian Ocean. That would drive Californians nuts if the LA TIMES started referring to it as that.
Good grief. A warning. As the storm passes.
It’s the god damn sea not the ocean. You just print that to annoy people now. I get it.
why so annoyed? get a life.
U mad bro?
Never been more pissed off in my life.
Ocean, Ocean O sea a n!
where is the border between sea and ocean?
Roughly, Cuba, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico to the north, The Windward and Leeward Islands to the east, Mexico to the west, and Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama to the south.
Of course the real divide is in relation to the imposition North American concepts of geography, and a lack of appreciation for other countries cultures and norms.
The waters that surround us are called the Sea.
Reports by the press to label it otherwise cannot change that simple fact.
Ocean and sea can be generic terms for a lot of salt water, or a lot of anything for that matter. Brits like to refer to the sea even when it is indisputably an ocean. They also like to lecture people about it.
English. The clue’s in the name.
The Caspian Sea is a lot of fresh water 8:03. Please explain?
Same dog puppy.
So smart boys and girls, why is the Caspian Sea called a Sea when it is totally surrounded by land?
